[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abulkhairi:
Hi,

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus, I bought it in November 2013. Here is a sequence of events I performed on my galaxy nexus:

1) Used Galaxy Nexus Toolkit V9.1.0 to install Android 4.1.2 (Build JZO54K)

2) Rooted and unlocked my phone (through a friend)

3) Installed Cyanogenmod 10.0 nightly in start of December using TWRP 2.2.2.0.

4) When 4.2.1 ROMs came out tried installing it using TWRP old version but then got to know updated version 2.3.* can directly install 4.1.2 ROM without using Galaxy Nexus Toolkit V10.0 so went for it. Meanwhile I used TWRP backup feature to save my Cyanogenmod and I recovered it later on when I didnt like 4.2.1 ROM.

5) Today, I decided to try 10.1 cyanogenmod a try. Downloaded yesterday's nightly and though it would be good to wipe cache/delvik cache and without even wondering what I am doing wiped internal storage and factory settings as well. After this I installed new nightly but when I restarted my phone the cyanogenmod circle just kept on moving for more than 5 minutes but the ROM didnt load. I knew I was in trouble.

6) I tried installing a rom but couldnt after which I had to used Galaxy Nexus Toolkit V9.1.0 to Flash Google Factory Stock ROM of 4.1.2.

7) I saved my TWRP rom recovery folder to the internal memory (tried putting them in TWRP folder or just main folder but it won't show up when I press recover in TWRP. I tried TWRP 2.2.2.0, 2.3.2.0 and even 2.4.1.0 but none would load the restoring files.

8) I treid the above TWRPs to install the new nightly as well but again after installation, it would just keep circling and the ROM wont load.

PLEASE HELP ME ......

Currently I have updated tp 4.2.2 Factory ROM as I got it as an update while I was on 4.1.2 factory rom.

Can you tell me how to bring the phone back to normal? I think the synchronization of root+unlock+TWRP has been broken.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
There is no "synchronization" to break.

Follow one of the stickies in this section on how to properly root your device with adb and fastboot then follow the directions.

Then if possible move the contents of the old TWRP folder into the new one.

Toolkits are seriously the worst thing to happen to XDA. Nobody bothers to learn anything if there's a tool to do it for them then they wind up helpless if something goes wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abulkhairi:
Can you let me know a useful like for that? I am thinking of installing Galaxy_Nexus_ToolKit_v10.1.0.exe and take a fresh start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
I just explained what you should do. If you're going to insist on using a toolkit then I can't help you any further.

Hi all. I would like to ask for your assistance with my problem.

I'm trying to run mpd server on tiny ubuntu image, just to have it on background and using it through any android mpd client. The main purpose for it is to run audio stream directly through alsa bypassing android mixer.

I was able to install alsa drivers and mpd, but the problem is following: cat /proc/asound/cards show me full list of my soundcards installed, but aplay -l says that there is no cards found.

So how do I properly configure alsa here? I was unable to install libs directly through ubuntu since kernel has unknown version for it. Maybe I can just copy working libs from android itself? But where should i put them, the file structure seems a little bit different :silly:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
The S4 and its variants seem to be causing a large range of issues with the project, I plan to get a group of s4 owners together to try snd fix these issues as I do not have the device so debuggin is not easy.

There is still alot of issues with alsa as with some devices it is not working yet, the android kernel is used by Ubuntu. I hope to write a guide on trying to get it working but its very different from device to device

Motorola Lapdock Mouse Control?

I have a Bionic running ICS with AndroidOnLinux (AOL?) Ubuntu LXDE (12.04?) . When I plug it into my Moto Lapdock to run on the big screen (setting VNC screen to 1366x768), it looks great, but I cannot figure out a way to use the Lapdock touchpad or a USB mouse plugged into it to control the mouse cursor on VNC's display either with local mouse selected or deselected. I can use the cursor keys on the keyboard to position the mouse cursor, but have not found any way to simulate the mouse button clicks from the keyboard.

Is there any way to do this? I really would like to do this with the Lapdock as the phone's display is just too small to use any kind of Linux desktop (for me at least)

Is it possible that you may need to change any reference to /storage/emulated/0 to /storage/emulated/legacy?

I know there is some minor problems with root in JB 4.3 that has workarounds. Some have to be manually fixed like changing the rights in the /data/media to media_rw.media_rw from root ownership. Titanium Backup folder has to be diverted to /storage/emulated/legacy for example to be able to restore.

Just some stuff I thought I might mention and not sure if this is helpful to you or not?

CHanging from ext2 to ext4 at least got me past what I had posted a couple up but still some system rights issues going on there.

Thanks
